Code 43, No Crank Signal From Starter

ECM receives a 12-volt signal when starter is cranking. ECM uses this signal to control fuel pump activation. If signal is not present and engine speed is greater than 800 RPM, Code 43 will set.

1. Battery voltage should be present on the Black wire while engine is cranking.
2. When ignition switch is released (engine running), no voltage should be present on Black wire.
